Deepest sympathy to all of Margaret's family and friends. It was my privilege to interact with Margaret during my time as Parish Sister. Months in advance she would indicate if she were available for the Christmas midnight Mass and/or the Easter Vigil in St Mary's Pro Cathedral. Her favourite readings which she proclaimed so beautifully were Is 9: 1-6 at Christmas and the story of creation from Genesis for the Easter Vigil. May she now rest in peace.
